[Pau]

when I turn on the power to my pc, it will go as for as
the "WELCOME" page "ENTER PASSWORD" after entering the
password then pressing "ENTER", it say's "now loading
your pesonal settings" then that changes almost instantly
to "logging off" then it asks me to enter my password
again????

Have you tried booting your PC up in Safe Mode and logging in?

If that works try running an Anti-Virus program to check for virus
infection. I had a similar thing with a relative's PC a while back, it
was infected with a virus that had messed with the service that
performed the logon authentication, hence the immediate log off again.

Same thing is happening to my computer. Do not need
password to log on and used to just automatically do so.
Now have to click enter, says "now loading your personal
settings" then immediately goes to "logging off". Have
you received an answer for this problem yet?
